Quote: queenslander "Are you a union fan by any chance? Anything interesting or positive to balance it with? or is RL in France just 100% negative to you.
Tre cool, I don`t believe that by stating what is actually happening on the ground here that you could assume that i am negative. I would love to tell you some good news stories but at the moment there isn`t any. Imagine if this was happening in england how would you report it, of course you would have a negative tone because its not good for the game. So please , spare me from your high horse , i am on the ground here and have been for a while ,people are fed up with with how things just seem to be always going backwards. The facts are that the game here is played in small villages run by some old people with nothing else to do and followed by a handfull of supporters that can still remember when the french side was greeted at mille with a ticket tape parade after they won the world cup. Give me some ideas on what you think should be done here to find sponsors and to create interest in the game.?[/quote] Maybe how about we stop keep trying to remove clubs from the French competition to place them in other competitions of supposed ' greater value ' " Please come and support our vibrant , worth winning in its own right competition now that we have two of our bigger clubs having left to play somewhere better " " ERR NON merci "

Quote: Catalancs "I still enjoying the Championship despite the 'bigger clubs' playing in Super League.'" Not too sharp there are you , I was reffering to the Elite French league This is what you get when you treat clubs and competitions with contempt

Quote: Starbug "Not too sharp there are you , I was reffering to the Elite French league This is what you get when you treat clubs and competitions with contempt'" Easy Tiger! I thought you were talking about Toulouse and Catalans being taken out of the French Elite League and entered into SL and The Championship. Therefore leaving the Elite League without two of its bigger clubs. The majority of the 'bigger clubs' play outside of The Championship and Championship One, but I and many others still take a keen interest in it as it's rugby league and still competetive and means a lot to the supporters of the clubs taking part. So if this isn't the case, what exactly where you talking about? That's a genuine question, not sarcasm.

The elite clubs were not too pleased with Toulouse ' ditching ' them to play in the Championship , hence why Toulouse couldn't find anybody to play a friendley against them as preparation and thier refusal to let them compete in the Lord Derby Cup So now you have Toulouse not wanted by the clubs in the Championship over here or wanted by thier ex rivals in France The best way to alienate fans and clubs and make them feel worthless , tell them your leaving for somewhere ' better ' without actually ' winning ' the right on the pitch How to make friends and influence people

Not so sharp? So I just read it the wrong way No comment about the rest of the post though , it's easy to be ' supportive and interested ' when you are looking down , not quite the same when you are the ones directly affected though I'm sure if the owners of our bigger clubs Saints and Leeds stated they want to play in the NRL because SL was not as good you would be suitably impressed
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Has the massive success of Le Cats ( and potential massive success of TO ) had a negetive effect on the French Domestic league? Are things as bad as it looks in the Elite League? There must be positives going on?
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Quote: spooneryork " Are things as bad as it looks in the Elite League? '" How bad is it exactly? any links?
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Haven't Lyon asked to leave the Elite league next season? Rumours of other clubs in financial difficulties.

Quote: spooneryork "
